But it seems to be taking a turn for the better as of today. The bright Tahitian sun is shining, the water is crystal clear, babes in extremely small bikinis are lounging in the channel, and the Hinanos are flowing. Things are back to normal here.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Thursday, the first day of the 2013 Billabong Pro Tahiti waiting period, dawned sunny with little to no wind, and a clean 3-4&amp;#8242; west swell. While a bit inconsistent, when the waves did come through, they were the stuff dreams are made of\\u2014not too scary but enough juice to keep you on your toes. What\\u2019s interesting when it\\u2019s this size is that there\\u2019s not a lot of separation between the surfers\\u2014everyone can make the drop and get barreled at four-foot Chopes. That\\u2019s not to say there weren\\u2019t any standouts\\u2026see below for the top five waves of the day:&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Top 5 Waves Of The Day&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;iframe src=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.youtube.com\\/embed\\/OeH9Yd4TAuw?enablejsapi=1\\\" width=\\\"640\\\" height=\\\"360\\\" frameborder=\\\"0\\\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;\\/iframe&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Anthony Walsh&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nAnthony Walsh is a beast in barreling lefts and proved it when he dropped the first perfect ten of the event with his super deep tube ride in an early morning matchup against Kolohe and Parko. Despite his ten, he had no backup wave and ended up in third. It\\u2019s called \\u201cThe Curse Of The Ten.\\u201d For the fin geeks out there (like myself), Anthony was riding a quad with a little &amp;#8220;guitar pick&amp;#8221; trailing fin ala Kelly Slater.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;img class=\\\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1000164243\\\" title=\\\"Billabong ProTahiti\\\" src=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.grindtv.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2013\\/08\\/John-John.jpg\\\" alt=\\\"\\\" width=\\\"640\\\" height=\\\"376\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;John John Florence&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nAs John John\\u2019s caddy I\\u2019m obviously biased, but the judges seemed to be on the same page and gave John a nine on his late drop to backside barrel. \\u201cI barely caught that thing,\\u201d he said after winning his round one heat. \\u201cI can\\u2019t figure it out, every wave I got was a super late drop,\\u201d he added. Don\\u2019t be fooled, he\\u2019s doing that on purpose to add some pizazz.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;img class=\\\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1000164252\\\" title=\\\"Kolohe Andino\\\" src=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.grindtv.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2013\\/08\\/Kolohe-Andino.jpg\\\" alt=\\\"\\\" width=\\\"640\\\" height=\\\"408\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Kolohe Andino&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nKolohe isn\\u2019t the first name to drop when you\\u2019re talking Teahupo\\u2018o but the young buck got a great wave in his matchup against Joel Parkinson and Anthony Walsh. The young regularfoot from San Clemente rode on the foam ball nearly the entire wave and finished with a solid smash off the whitewash. \\u201cBrother\\u201d earned himself a 9 for that one.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;img class=\\\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1000164250\\\" title=\\\"Jordy Smith\\\" src=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.grindtv.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2013\\/08\\/Jordy-Smith1.jpg\\\" alt=\\\"\\\" width=\\\"640\\\" height=\\\"426\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Jordy Smith&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nIt wasn\\u2019t the highest score of the day but we love when guys go right at Teahupo\\u2018o. It\\u2019s punk rock and baffles the judging panel. \\u201cThe swell is really west today and if you have that opportunity, you can go right,\\u201d said the big Saffa.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;img class=\\\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1000164246\\\" title=\\\"Billabong ProTahiti\\\" src=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.grindtv.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2013\\/08\\/Yadin-Nicol1.jpg\\\" alt=\\\"\\\" width=\\\"640\\\" height=\\\"390\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Yadin Nicol&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nThe West Oz whiz kid took an elevator drop into the pit, lost all his speed, and somehow recovered in time to get spit into the channel to the tune of a 9.07. &amp;#8220;I pushed myself over the ledge and squeaked through, so I\\u2019m stoked!\\u201d said Yadin.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;It sounds like the Billabong Pro Tahiti will run again tomorrow in conditions similar to today.
